Landlords in Eldoret who provide housing for terrorists and other criminals will face prosecution if found doing so.
Uasin Gishu County Commissioner Abdi Mohammed has said landlords have to keep all records for their tenants as a security measure.
"The landlords must have accurate identification on all their tenants. Those found housing criminals will be charged along with the suspects if arrested," said Abdi.
Abdi said the order to landlords was part of plans to improve security.
Gangs have been terrorising residents especially at night.
"If anything happens as a result of people housed by a landlord we will take action on the landlords and the suspects," said Abdi who was speaking in Eldoret.
He said they had deployed security teams in all identified hideouts for gangsters especially on River Sosiani recent attacks have been recorded.
"Gangsters will nowl face the full force of the law," said Abdi.
Bishops from different churches who met last week in Eldoret have at the same time also called for an end to wrangles within the National Police Service Commission to allow for quick reforms in the police service and improved security for Kenyans.
The clergymen who met at a forum for the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) said wrangles between the Commission's Chairman Johnstonne Kavuludi and Inspector General David Kimaiyo would make Kenyans lose confidence in the security agencies.
Bishop Christopher Ruto of the ACK said insecurity was on the increase as the wrangles persist.
"We are greatly concerned with the ongoing public wars within the police service commission. This is unfortunate because the end result will be Kenyans completely losing confidence in the security agencies,"said Bishop Ruto.
The clergymen called on Kavuludi and Kimaiyo to act responsibly and that if any of them feels aggrieved they should use available constitutional provisions to sort out the differences.
"We condemn the rising insecurity in parts of the country and its unacceptable that Kenyans have continued to be robbed and killed during day and night,"said Ruto.
They want President Uhuru to work with the county governments in ensuring that security is improved in all parts of the country.
Gang attacks in Bungoma, Busia along with terrorist activities have left many Kenyans killed and others injured as the spate of insecurity continues around the country.
